Lived the theouple life for 3 years.
Hey, so on a different thread somebody was asking about thruple life and I chimed in with my past. I don't know all the various communities but over the last few days of answering questions I was DMd and told to post here so more people can learn from my past. There's a lot of comments I made in the other thread, and I'll try to be concise here. But if anyone wants to talk just post replies and I'll go into it more.

Anyway, for 3 years me and my wife had a live in girlfriend. We are about 15 years older. She was young 20s, us older 30s. It was our first, and most likely only adventure into that lifestyle. And ended only because she needed to go out into the world on her own. We helped her get work experience and education. We all knew going itln it was never going to be a poly relationship with a permanent marriage type life.
The most common question from when I shared this was sleeping arrangements. We have a 5 bedroom house, so the girlfriend had her own room. And we still had a guest room. We both work. But my wife is the breadwinner.
I'll stop here so I don't spend all day writing, let me know if anyone is interested about our logistics. Oh, it ended about 2 years ago ish.
